AI developments: DeepSeek

Presenters：Jenny Lam and Car Ha

On Monday’s Backchat, we’ll be talking about AI development.

The release of Chinese artificial intelligence app DeepSeek has sent shock waves throughout Silicon Valley, after surpassing ChatGPT in US app downloads. President Donald Trump called the new app a "wake-up call" for US tech giants, which remain in a tight race against their Chinese rivals.

Developers claim the AI model only took two months to come into operation, and cost under US$6 billion to build — significantly less than ChatGPT.

And in yet another possible breakthrough, Chinese owned tech firm Alibaba launched an enhanced version of its Qwen artificial intelligence model, which could well surpass DeepSeek.
